We've got to be close to the bottom. Read this which I read at Le Metropole.. A significant development last night was the capitulation of the Dean of American newsletter writers, Richard Russell. Over quite a few years, Russell's strategy has been to watch gold closely, sometimes buying and sometimes selling shares and options, but constantly advocating the steady accumulation of bullion coins on a classical gold bug view. Consequently his comments on "gold items" below is particularly notable: "What to do with the golds? Personally, I'm partially giving up. I sold half of my options, and I'm holding the other half which don't expire until December. But the gold action is discouraging. I wouldn't buy any gold items here, and I wouldn't hold a bunch of gold items either. I repeat, damn it, more money has probably been lost on gold and silver than has ever been made. That's the metal markets, love 'em or leave 'em. "

Mike: I abhor violence and the killing of Israeli civilians saddens me greatly. But perhaps we should ask what kind of despair drives people to kill themselves in suicide bombing attacks. Does not the bible honor Samson who sacrificed himself to kill a large number of Philistines? And we must never forget that the vast majority of civilian victims in the Middle East these past decades have been Palestinians and Arabs. Including over a million Iraq civilians dead from US sanctions.
